Dear Marc, I think it is time now to supply systemd unit files to start apt-cacher, as /usr/share/doc/systemd/NEWS.gz shows:
``` systemd System and Service Manager CHANGES WITH 257: ... Announcements of Future Feature Removals: ... * Support for System V service scripts is deprecated and will be removed in v258. Please make sure to update your software *now* to include a native systemd unit file instead of a legacy System V script to retain compatibility with future systemd releases. ... ``` That is with the next system (major) version v258 apt-cacher does not start any more. Currently, we already have systemd v257 on testing. Many thanks for maintaing apt-cacher, great job! Chris
